Thread: Evening Entertainment on Carnival

I meant to say not that we are not going to them... We will plan on seeing them as they were good.

I agree though, they need to keep the shows rotating - maybe rotate them from ship to ship. It is not like any show is a reason to book a cruise, so keeping the same shows is nothing more than just not creating a new play. Not trying to be insulting even though it sounds as if I am...

And with your luck you will be on the different ship that the show has transferred to..... Murphy strikes again.

Neal, you have no idea how true that statement is

They normally only perform two sometimes three nights on a 7-night cruise. Some have more, some less, depending on the cruise line, the ship, and the length of the cruise.

Peter, I thought that the Carnival Singers & Dancers' multi Million Dollar Extravaganzas as they call the shows were terrific on the Ecstasy. I saw them on the Miracle just a couple of months prior & they were different shows but just as great. Don't know what to expect from The Dream as far as shows are concerned. Just wrote a "short," yeah, right, review of the Ecstasy. I thought the ship's staff needed a bit of polish. Still I had a wonderful time. They were just minor mistakes that I don't let ruin a lovely vacation. That's why I decided to book The Carnival Dream.

You are great for replying - nothing you wrote was insulting at all. I will let everyone know my impressions of The Dream when I return - including the shows. I imagine that because of their high costs of producing these esxtravaganzas, they have to have them stick around. This I do understand. I don't even mind seeing repeat show but that has not really happened on the two Carnival ships that I've been on last year. The shows were similar but great. It is hard to envision them being any better on The Dream but we will see. I sail on the Carnival Sensation in March so again who knows what entertainment I'll find there. I get to be a VIP after that cruise which is good because I am taking The Breeze Transatlantic Voyage in November from Barcelona to Miami. Boy am I excited about that cruise! It doesn't take too much to get me exccited about cruising that's why I'm on the site. I just have to be more succient in my revieews. Tough for me...

Oh Neal, I have enough to concern myself about the Land Rover & Cave tour in Belize and now you have me thinking about repeat shows that Ive already seen. I thought that cruises were supposed to be stress free vacations?? Laugh, laugh See you allo when I return. I leave on Saturday. Have a fun filled week & stay out of trouble - all of you who replied.

Have a great cruise!
